Loki, God of Patience and Endurance, cradles me in his arms and reminds me that we do not suffer alone. When we hurt, when we're at our worst, Sigyn is there to catch the poison that drips into our eyes. She would wipe the sweat from our brow and give us nourishment so that we have the strength to continue.

We endure for her. We endure because she is there. We endure because her love gives us strength.

We endure for love.

The Sigyn Appreciation Week

Day 1 - What do you associate Sigyn with, what reminds you of her?

I associate Sigyn with a lot a things related to nature, fox, dragonflies, wildflowers, and specifically I think of the autumn season. Also the color yellow and other warm colors and also gold and gold jewelry.

Sometimes the snake rests. That means rest for the two of them as well. She tells him of sunshine and blue skies.

Donโ€™t repost. More comments under the cut.

This is sweet and heartbreaking at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Unfortunately, the artist desactivated their account, but this art is so touching and beautiful!! <3

Sigyn taught me a lot about how to live when the darkness that surrounds you seems eternal, like it must have seemed for her during the torment in the cave.

But she eventually gets to see the sun again. She gets to live again.

There's always going to be a piece of her that's in the cave, or that's stuck in the moment when her boys were murdered. There's always going to be parts of me that I've lost to despair and depression.

But we both keep living. We see the sun again, eventually.
